Jatin-Lalit treat for Ludhiana residents
Ludhiana, May 7 Jatin and Lalit had promised it to be so. And when the singers like Vinod Rathore, Poornima also known as Sushma Shreshta, Richa Sharma, Jo Jo, Babul Supriyo and others presented their numbers the audience could not have anything better. Although the show started a little late, the delay was compensated by the thrill and excitement generated later. The live performance by Alisea Raut set the stage on fire, particularly with the popular numbers, Dhoom macha de and O what a babe.... The performances were outstanding, making it difficult as who among the artistes was the best. Whether it was Vinod Rathore’s Munna Bhai MBBS and Chhupana bhi nahi aata, batana bhi nahi aata or Poornima’s Jhumka Gira Ray and Pardey Mein Rehnay Do, everything was done in class. And Richa Sharma of Mahi Vey Mohabattan Sachiya Vey Or Woh Sharabi Kya Sharabi Jo Nashay Mein Na Rahay was no less impressive. Her Punjabi touch made her appeal more overpowering with the popular Sufi number Damadam Mast Kalandhar... Jatin and Lalit themselves were no less entertaining. Particularly Jatin, who rendered a song in Punjabi, trying to make it as chaste as possible, which was well appreciated by everyone. He said, although he was not a Punjabi by birth, he loved the language too much and by singing a Punjabi song with so much difficulty he tried to express his love for the language. Last but not the least, there could not be a better compere than the immitigable and flamboyant Archana Puran Singh, always as lively as the show itself. The musical night was organised by the Next Victory Media and Films for collecting aid for the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for tsunami victims. Nidhi Sharma, the CEO of the company disclosed that efforts had been made to ensure the participation of the top artistes of the country in the show so that maximum relief is generated. She thanked the people of the city for their cooperation and participation, without which it would not have been a success.
